Gianluca Crudele (Barletta 1989) is an Italian painter and designer based in Hong Kong. He began painting murals on the street walls of his hometown at the age of 15 and later went on to study design in Milan (BA) and Nottingham (MA) before moving to Hong Kong. Expanding from his large-scale murals, his contemplative canvases draw from the energies of various genres and disciplines, from metaphysics to magic realism and Alchemy.
